That box is used to store the other set of pedestal lights. Here are some photos of Tim Sutter's halftrack with that same box.

Anyone ever seen an original? Was watching an old episode of Combat recently and there was an M2 modified with a turret and enclosed roof that had this box on the the back. First one I'd ever seen until this thread.

The halftrack on Combat sounds just like the one in the episode "The Andy Griffith" show, where Bernie gets the surplus motorcycle.
One of the few, Frank USMC RET.

Hi Prestone Tim Sutter here I was wondering if I could get a High Res copie of that picture or could you let me know where you got it so I can get one as well.  If you post an answer here let me know that you did, my email is timsutter@comcast.net or send me the picture to that email please.
Thanks and take care, Tim
